[The video feed opens with Asellus, leaning halfway out of her window. This isn't wholly new; she tends toward video over most other options. It feels more real than text or voice to her.

What is new is the fact that she's laughing, and she turns back to the Forge, that laugh still in her eyes, and drags it to see what she's seeing ( Read more... )

I remember a long time ago, um, I asked people to tell me love stories. A lot of you weren't here at the time, I guess I was feeling a little melancholic. It's not that surprising, right? Because everyone has those days, especially when there's a lot of, um, things happening and people suffer, or people die, or they nearly die. Sometimes you ( Read more... )

[If she's uncomfortable or bothered by something, she's doing a damn good job of hiding it by the time she's turning this on.]

Honestly? After today and this following week? I think I can understand why the hell the original residents of this place don't like us. Some of you people-

A black haired girl with wide violet eyes is looking critically at the Forge, her dark brows drawn ( Read more... )

Ah...I was wonderin' if anybody might be able to help me? I'm not sure if I need to see a doc or...

[The lighting is poor, but that definitely seems to be Balthier, possibly in his room, and a worktable full of various clockwork parts and trinkets-- not all of which may have been sold to him ( Read more... )

The Police Force and interested parties are to contact me immediately.

[That's it. He's not in a very good mood. It would be wise to heed to this order.]

This certainly is a hostile world.

[Not that he sounds put out by it... exactly. Perhaps unsurprised. His own world is hostile enough, after all. When are people not destroying one another in the pursuit of some or another useless and selfish end?]Any who are aware of the origins of that illness, I would be interested in discussing it with you ( Read more... )
